By Right, As The Word Is Employed In This Subject, Has Always Been Understood Discretion, That Is, A Full And Complete Power Of Either Doing A Thing Or Omitting It, Without The Person's Becoming Liable To Animadversion Or Censure From Another, That Is, In Other Words, Without His Incurring Any Degree Of Turpitude Or Guilt. Now In This Sense I Affirm That Man Has No Rights, No Discretionary Power Whatever.
